Please can you tell me if you have had messages on Photoshop PSE14 "insuffient ram could not complete" and on pressing ok tells me " needs an integer of 50 to 8" All this then freezes the whole computer until I switch off. Any answers please?
thanks Pat

Sorry, I can't find a Pause or Pause/Break key. Its a Lenovo B50-50 laptop and I have looked for info on the website, which is hopeless, been through all sorts of settings that I never even knew I had and still can't find it. Think I am going to have to resort to taking it into the shop.

I assume it's P/S elements you use. I use an old version, PS CS4E, which in Edit-Preference=Performance, gives you the opportunity to fine tune. You may have something similar perhaps? It appears this may be linked to Windows, they may update to cure. I do get this on Windows XP Pro, but it is genuine, as XP only sees about 3.5 Gb memory, no matter how much you have. Computer has a dual boot, and on Win 10, 1803, sees the 8Gb I have. Clearing the Cache, is worth trying, again if possible.

There appears to be a work around, Found this, but it involves registry editing, if in doubt, don't. Make a System Restore point before any attempt is made, by anybody!

Thank you, I have taken the info about the registry editing to the computer shop where I bought it and after telling me I needed to buy extra memory they agreed to do the edit and it has worked fine. Thank you all so much for helping.

I have 4Gb and they told me at the shop to start with that I needed to buy more memory but in fact I only needed the registry updating so that it allowed Photoshop to actually have access to an interger of 50-8. The shop edited the registry and now Photoshop works fine.

I don't understand it but that is what happened and I didn't have to buy more memory.
